This week and next, we're digging around in the recipe archive to find dishes and sandwiches and other good stuff that will work for you at parade parties and coolers on the parade route. Today's recipe comes from a 1997 story about feeding a family for a day of parade watching.

It's a mash-up of two legendary local sandwiches! Huge bonus: It's made ahead so the flavors can marinate overnight in the refrigerator.
